This project is brought to you from Waverly.
We had such a fun time creating our Tween Hangout Room, andHannah decided she wanted a room that was similar.
The black and white decor and pops of color are so fun for a teen!! I was able to use the same beautiful Waverly fabric for this room as the hangout room.
I think the colors are so pretty! Here are some of the projects I created for this … [Read more...]

I love being a Lowes Creator. This month one of the themes we could choose from was Patriotic Projects.

This project is brought to you from Waverly.
This Teen/Tween Hangout Room has been so much fun to work on. As my kids have gotten older, we have needed less of a play room with toys, and more of a room where they can hang out with their friends. So when my kids changed rooms at the beginning of the school year, we ended up with an extra empty room. And I thought it would be the … [Read more...]

I had a little Craft Night with a few friends the other night - it was so fun! I created a happy Spring printable and uploaded it into Shutterfly to create some fun things for the party.

I also used the graphic … [Read more...]

I love being a part of Lowes' Creative Ideas blogger team. I love seeing what monthly themes they give us. It really lets me use my creativity. This month a couple of the themes we were given were Submerged Colors and Outdoor Wall Art. I decided to combine the two together and make some Submerged Color Wood Slad Sconces. I think they will be perfect hung on my patio once the weather warms up a … [Read more...]

I am addicted to making giant signs. And they are so inexpensive to make - only about $5 for the wood.
I wanted to put a spin on the project for Spring. I thought adding paper flowers to the sign would be fun. And I was excited to use my new Cricut Explore cutting machine. It was such a fun project to make!
Here's how I made the sign: … [Read more...]
